Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1627 48th Avenue in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood, owned by Gabriel Ayanian, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant maintenance events over the years. Most notably, in April 2022, the building experienced ceiling leaks in multiple rooms, attributed to roof issues including a reported "big hole," which occurred shortly before a $15,340 reroofing project was undertaken. This followed a history of moisture-related problems, including a 2007 complaint about mold and mildew affecting resident health. The building's safety record shows one fire escape-related violation in 2002, though this was promptly addressed on the same day it was filed.

The property has maintained regular upkeep with another reroofing project completed in 1993. While the building's core issues appear to be primarily related to roofing and moisture management, the surrounding neighborhood has experienced various maintenance and enforcement matters as evidenced by 311 calls, including several reports of street cleaning needs and parking-related incidents between 2019 and 2024. These external matters, while not directly related to the building's condition, provide context about the immediate area's maintenance and enforcement environment. The most recent concerns primarily involve routine urban maintenance issues like street cleaning and parking enforcement, which are being handled through appropriate city channels.

Risk rating

How 1627 48Th Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
